The transition from high school to university represents an important step in the educational path of people, since this process is associated with their professional future. Entry into higher education is characterized as a major event in the lives of students, and it is permeated by changes that will affect their development. This period is marked by complex changes in personal, affective, social and professional spheres, which may interfere with the student's ability to adapt to this new context of life2. The experiences in the new educational context will be permeated by events that can be experienced as challenging and will interfere with quality of life and aspects of physical and emotional health. The impact of entering higher education on the subjects' lives demands adjustments, as the need to organize actions that promote a good adaptation to this context3-5. Entering higher education requires the student to know how to deal with situations related to academic life, interpersonal relationships, expectations regarding professional future, adaptation to new contexts, among other aspects. University entrance, in many situations, will require changes and adaptations to new contexts, situations and interpersonal relationships that will significantly change the developmental pathways of these students.

This transition period between adolescence and adulthood can be especially important because it allows the coexistence of characteristics from both phases. Thus, upon entering university, many students retain characteristics typical of adolescence, while they increasingly need to express and develop characteristics associated with the adult universe, notably in terms of greater autonomy and responsibility for their own developmental path. In this time of life, there is a need to adjust to a new context, in which responsibilities, relational, affective and sexual issues, socioeconomic pressures and concerns about the job market are intensified8. Also, most students already enter university with high expectations, feeling pressured to match internal and external demands, factors that, when associated, can generate intense anguish and insecurity7,9. Such situations present
